5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable! If you celebrate seasons, you need this book!, Aug 18 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Lammas Night (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is amazing. The reviewer above who was disappointed in an anthology obviously never looked at the contents to see what she was buying. This is one of the best pieces of fantasy I have ever read. Each author puts their own spin on a basic premise designed by Mercedes Lackey. Some of the authors I recognized, some I didn't. A brief introduction of each author would have been helpful, but didn't detract from the story. If anyone figures out why the pig story is in there, please let me know. Also,the last entry could have been left out and the book would have had a better ending. I hope this comes out in a collector's edition someday because it's going on the shelf next to Shakespear, Homer, and Chaucer as a commentary on the human condition. This is a must-have for anyone who likes to read through the ancient seasons of the year!

2.0 out of 5 stars Tribute to Lackey, May 29 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lammas Night (Mass Market Paperback)

THe local high school had a "tribute to Elvis" which wasn't bad as school concerts go - but I would be unhappy had I bought the tape believing it was bonafide Presley.

I felt the same about this book. Big type saying MERCEDES LACKEY and obvious fantasy - great, picked it up for airplane reading, and was annoyed to find Lackey had written only the verses it was based on. ANd I have never been an admirer of her verses.

It was a bit like being a high school teacher and having to read the efforts of a whole class told to write an essay on one topic. I would want to get paid to do that!

This review is from: Lammas Night (Mass Market Paperback)

I think that as a short story, Lackey could have done this very,very well. The story of Lammas Night is interesting, but an entire BOOK based simply on retellings of the original story with so-called "twists"? No, thank you. A wiser idea would have been to write a book of short stories of the "and-THEN-what-happened" of other ballads.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Enough
I liked this book, I really did... And I understand that, as they're all based on the same song/poem, the stories are all going to have some things in common. Read more
